A section just for tutorials?

Hi

I’m not here to ask questions, but to share knowledge.

Is there a forum category exclusively for [How-To] Linux authors?

Or [Tricks] and [Tips]? To allow some to publish their Fedora workflows.

Do you understand it? Not a help and support. Creative ideas how Fedora users do things.

Speed - Backup - System Stability - Security - Hardware - Business with Linux - Make money with Linux

Here is an example (Linux Strategies):

The most Linux user in this world try to solve all problems with one NVMe and one Linux installation. That never works!

You need one NVMe just for PROGRAMMING (Go, Rust, Python etc.)
One NVMe just for AI (ComfyUI, Automatic1111, Flux Gym)
One NVMe just for geek configuration / setup / benchmark tests.
One NVMe just for MULTIMEDIA or SECURITY or VM.
One NVMe just for AUDIO productivity.
One NVMe just for VIDEO or 3D productivity.
One NVMe just for DTP productivity.

This is the reason why most Linux users FAIL. They believe all-in-one is possible.

You’re welcome to use the following tags when suggesting ideas for your articles.
docs-team documentation

Currently, tutorials are thoughtfully curated across:

Edition-specific documentation such as:

  • Fedora Workstation Docs
  • Fedora Server Docs
  • Fedora CoreOS Docs

Additionally, some tutorials are shared as Fedora Magazine articles.

There is currently no separate tag for tutorials in Fedora Discourse. Back in 2024, there were many discussions on this topic, but no decision was made to change the direction or take further action.

However, if you post your documentation ideas using the tags mentioned above, others may see them and offer helpful suggestions or guidance.

I’m not quite sure what you mean by setting up the same environment according to the NVMe drives. To help others understand your idea better, it would be great if you could explain the TO-BE scenario you’re envisioning. Usually, setups are categorized by development environment—like VM or container-based—but I’m curious about your approach.

Could you elaborate on how you plan to organize or manage these NVMe-based setups? I’d love to understand your idea better.

Sure it does! In my case I just redo the one Linux (or other OS) install frequently :stuck_out_tongue:

I feel a direct how-to category would just be ripe both-side for bots:

  • It’s easy to post tutorials for easy solutions for cred :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
  • It’s easy for AI to scoop up knowledge when people plain-detail easy tutorials :stuck_out_tongue:

Let me explain my situation. I prefer to have two separate installation environments on two different laptops. The main reason is that I use one primarily as my main system with an LTS (Long-Term Support) release for most of my work, while the other is dedicated to testing the latest packages and running Fedora-specific workflows or software.

Even if I had a laptop with more than enough specs, I would still prefer to use two laptops separately.

  • LTS laptop: Used for web development, stable audio packages, documentation for other projects, and some non-FOSS tools. I also use Snap on this system for certain applications. I use the LTS setup specifically for online demos and presentations at offline events.
  • Fedora laptop: Dedicated to testing the latest packages and experimenting with Fedora-specific workflows.

This setup helps me keep my main work environment stable and reliable, while still having a flexible space for testing and experimenting.

Your setup for stability is even better than mine.

A dedicated category we do not have. The howto tag is available. Feel free to use it. Use it, to find your work easier, you do for the community.

If you want to discuss about the listed topics, we do have the The Water Cooler section which is made to have off-topic discussions.

Beside Discourse, there is a Wiki you can use to write down some notes you have made for Fedora.

Fedora Project Wiki

This space is primarily used as a collaboration tool for our contributor community — developers, packagers, designers, writers, translators, quality assurance, and so on.

Good advice, but one side note:

I would discourage use of the Wiki. It exists, and it is running, but ideally we should be slowly moving out of it, not extending it.

There is a dedicated place for how-to’s in the docs site Fedora Quick Docs :: Fedora Docs which might be better for this use case.
